You are the only animal person I have come across in a very long time who is critter crazy and a total bookworm as well. I live in Stanwood, WA, a small town of 4000, with a superb library system and I came here specifically to finally settle down and volunteer at Pigs Peace Sanctuary--see website, amazing! NB: Kertesz has 2 translators and the one to read is Wilkinson. Bye for now. Hi Caribousmom–I am so happy when I open your pages and see your critters.

But, I will give it a try sometime! I loved Aboulela's book! I'll have to take a look at those others you mentioned. Thanks for the recommendations!

FWIW here are some recently-read translated books that I also loved: Desertion by Abdulrazak Gurnah; Gotz and Meyer by David Abilari; A Woman in Jerusalem by A.B. Yehoshua; The Tramslator by Leila Aboulela and Fateless(nes) by Imre Kertesz. (Don't know how I'd manage to find intresting and little known books without these outstanding lit blogs) I also loved Out Stealing Horses.

It was a group read for the LibraryThing "Group Reads - Literature" group so you might find it interesting to look at some of the threads over there.
